How to calculate this ?

Quote from Digs:

You wrote :

x3=x1+d, y3=y1+d

So why doesnt ???

x2 = x1+d
y2 = y1+d

its not the same becuase you are dealing with a circle not a square. In the case you named, D would not equal the radius but some distance shorter than the radius. The only time what you wrote is true is when you are dealing with 0 degree, 90,180,270
 
Lets make this easier. Assume that X1, Y1 is (0,0) and D is equal to 4 (whatever units you want doesnt matter).

the formula is 4^2=X^2 + Y^2

In this case you can determine any X2 or Y2

Use similar right triangles, where d appears in both.

Make an equation of ratios (proportion).

Do a proportion for X3 and a proportion for Y3.

I will illustrate the triangles (4) if necessary

Isnt this the story of Jack Hershey? taking the most easy shit and making it so complex that not even he understands it.
 
LOL!!! :p
